Or even not car related groomsmen gifts. I’m having a tough time picking gifts for my groomsmen, all that I have seen are corny monogrammed trinkets or beer/liquor making kits. Any oppos have suggestions? There are 9 groomsmen so I’m looking to stay under well under $100/per person. I might just say fuck it and get everyone whistle tips.

Cool pocketknives, like Swiss army or a cheap-ish EDC CRKT M16? Nice handmade leather belt? Cool shoe cleaning/maintenance kits?
I obviously know nothing about groomsmen gifts...

IMHO and what I did for mine was some good whiskey for each of them. We had a few drinks before the wedding and generally a great time that day. Plus its consumable to so no one feels bad about receiving a gift that never gets used.

I got my groomsmen Leatherman tools. Simple and useful.

Love that idea, easy to personalize too if I decide to go that route.

I’d probably just scan SlickDeals for a Leatherman deal, like JCarr said. Consumables are also well-received, especially if you tailor each one to the recipient's tastes (eg liquor)

My groomsmen received leather dopp bags with a stainless nail kit in them. It seems like most younger guys don’t have those things already.

I got all my groomsmen belt buckles from the Army unit I was with at the time.

My brother went that route when he got married. I still use it to this day.

The only monogrammed thing that I like! This is currently my fallback, leaning towards a leather man for each

It was 8 years ago so I don’t really remember and I’m guessing they’ve all changed since then anyway. I think they were around $35 dollars though, so that Wingman one would probably be closest. Really just depends on how much you want to spend.

My groomsmen received monogrammed flasks (they’re drinkers, so it’s okay). Once, as a groomsman, I received a nice set of grill tools in a monogrammed case. That was pretty awesome actually.

At the wedding I recently attended they got monogrammed umbrellas. I thought it was dumb but evidently JFK did it?

Nine? Holy crap! My gifts were personalized to each recipient. Spend more on your best man than the others, btw.
I spent more than your budget, but got a couple custom knives (each knife different to their tastes) among other things. I also got the bride’s dad a really nice custom knife.
Don’t forget the bride’s father.
The women (bridesmaids, moms) got very nice jewelry - necklaces and earrings, depending on their style.
The customizing to taste was well received. I have a box of monogrammed wedding stuff from other weddings I don’t use. Give me a knife, some tools, whatever, and I’ll use it though.

Key Ninja, or if you are a little more technical, perhaps a thumbdrive preloaded with some handy portable apps ( http://www.howtogeek.com/110549/the-bes… )

I didn’t get my brother anything.
Although he showed up to the wedding wasted( on St. Patrick's Day) , and hitting on the maid of honor, who is married.
He got married last year, and vowed revenge. Although my passive aggressive approach was grow some massive sideburns so I look dumb in the wedding photos. Although I like the big side burns, my wife doesn’t.
He got me a $100 gift card to a restaurant. Which I have yet to use.

Came to suggest this. I was given one about 15 years ago as a groomsman. I still have it and use it regularly. I bought a few more since then since they are really usable tools, not just a gimmick like a lot of other pocket knives/tools.
For me, monogrammed trinkets sit around for a few years then end up in the trash.

I would say Gallardos, but not matching colors. That’s just tacky.
